The controls are tight and responsive, and the music is still satisfying to listen to. Both new environments were wonderful additions to the game and fit seamlessly into the map.
Moon Studios' charming platformer already was a little gem when it first came out, and this new edition completes it with new contents and mechanics, making it even more accessible to any player. Definitely a must buy if you never played the original one.
Eu resolvi reescrever minha review de Ori porque a minha antiga estava muito ruim, então, lá vai.
Eu simplesmente amei esse jogo, tudo nele é extremamente perfeito, a trilha sonora, arte, a gameplay apesar de simples é satisfatória. É uma pena a Moon Studios não ter uma administração saudável, pois esse jogo tem muito carinho e coração posto nele.
One of the best platformers is now more accessible (but even the lowest difficulty setting can be frustrating) and introduces a new area and two new useful skills. The Definitive Edition is a great opportunity to catch up if you haven’t played this amazing game (and you really should!), but also a good reason to revisit Nibel. [06/2016, p.59]
One of the best platformers of this generation is overhauled by a completely new area and the especially useful ability of dash. Veterans of Ori may wish to return in its beautiful world to enjoy its new difficulty settings, along with the new level. Anyone else who skipped it the first time it came out should seriously reconsider giving it a second chance.
Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition - while superfluous - makes a near-perfect game even better. If you haven't played it, now is the perfect time - and even if you have, it's worth revisiting.
If you played Ori and the Blind Forest last year, this new edition offers plenty of new content to warrant a second play through. With lush visuals, an imaginative world, and charming characters, Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition is the best platforming game on the Xbox One, and one of the best games in the Xbox One software catalog.
If Ori burned you before (as it had me), don’t expect an apology here. It’s still pretty, fun, and occasionally frustrating, and it still might burn your parent’s house down.
Very much enjoyed this game. I’m a very casual gamer. I appreciated that I didn’t get lost and was able to find my way from point a to b with little confusion. Story was a little weak, but I had a lot of fun.
Not as great as Celeste, but still worthwhile.
Pros:
* The music is matched perfectly with art direction (especially in cutscenes)
* Metroidvania structure is satisfying (that different from Celeste)
* Skills are introduced gradually and that gives time to master them.
Cons:
* On my Series X the game crashed a few times. The most annoying crash was right after the final boss section, so I needed to replay it again.
* The art style is beautiful, but not that functional. Countless times I simply wasn't noticing spikes or miscalculated what's grabbable. That was especially annoying during boss sections
* Controls could have been tighter. Climbing over a tiny ledge was a pain even after 10 hours with the game.
* I got only 81% of achievements. It has quite a few with unreasonable level of game finesse (like a single life walkthrough)
The soundtrack is wonderful. The animation is good. Regrettably, the most important element, the gameplay, is overrated. Traversal is tiresome and monotonous.
SummaryOri and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition delivers a multitude of new areas, difficulty options, and gameplay upgrades that should appeal to both new and seasoned Ori players.
